Halloween Costume How-to: Catwoman

Our last Halloweencostume in our "MAC Shows You How" series is FIERCE. It's Catwoman, and it was done on our lovely Julianne. Come check it out!

Here's what Julianne look like usually:

And this is how makeup artist Fatima Thomas turned her into Catwoman:

Step 1: She lined the eyes with black eyeliner drew the edges out into points so they were extra catty. Fatima says don't be afraid to get messy—this look is supposed to be edgy and dramatic! And remember to do this step first, so if any of the black gets anywhere on your face, you can clean it up without having to start over! The products Fatima used: Concrete Eyeshadow, Feline Eye Pencil and Haute & Naughty Lash Mascara.

Step 2: She prepped to create the mask by creating a stencil. You can paint it on freehand if you're that steady, but it's way easier to make a stencil with paper for the edges. Fatima says to just take a shipping label and cut it out into three pieces: One for across the top and two for under each eye and stick it on your skin! The idea is to create a shape similar to this:

Step 3: Paint the mask! Fatima misted some Spray Fix+ onto Chromacake (available at the MAC Pro store) and used a synthetic brush to pick up the color and paint neatly around the stencil. Psst...regular ol' Halloween face paint would work for this, too.

Step 4: When the mask was all painted on, she peeled off the label stickers. To make lines neat & clean, Fatima took foundation on a wedge sponge and erased any mistakes.
